While putting on my brightest green dress this morning as a nod of respect to the smidgen of Irish blood in me (my grandma was a Murphy and you dont get much more irish than that right)  I got thinking about what a great colour green is. Remember Pantone’s Emerald green? Here is is if you’ve forgotten, or been living under a rock in a cave since last year 

I’m sure you will recall this as I harped on about it for awhile there as did nearly every other designer i know as it was so damn “Lush” Anyways – heres some prime examples of green done well here:

You can get a very similar rug to above from a Kiwi guy called Nick Radford who makes amazing decolourised and antique rugs in New Zealand and is well worth a look. If you are interested in purchasing these rugs in Australia just let me know as I receive trade rates from him and am pretty handy in shipping them here.

Now if you’ve had a few green Irish beers today the below house is going to blow your mind. Its blowing mine and I’m stone cold sober- where are those stairs going? I’m not sure if I love it or hate it but makes me think and isn’t that what design is all about anyway? The full wrap up on this house can be found here.

Here is some examples of how NOT to do green, I am only including 2 images as they are already hurting my eyes. If you are in doubt about what green to use in your house contact me  NOW, its what I do for a living remember?
